Breaking Dawn was Awesome
***Spoiler Free***
So just in case any of you read my blog ever decide to go with what I say and read the Twilight novels, I will be nice and won't spoil the events in this book (okay, well maybe one but SM let it loose before the book came out any way).
After weeks of torment, I was finally able to read Breaking Dawn the last novel (from Bella's POV) in the Twilight series.
I have to say, I was totally shocked about all the events (except one) in this book. It went in a totally different direction than I thought it was going to go. That's not to say I'm not 100% happy with the way it turned out, just there were a lot of OMG moments.
The wedding at the very beginning was very nice to see (the one spoiler), glad to see Bella didn't chicken out of that.
All in all, I'm very happy with the book, I read it the 1st time through in a lil under 15hrs (I had to get some sleep).
I am now in the process of re-reading all the books, straight through, so I can get the lil hints SM said were left in both New Moon and Eclipse.
Now, I just have to wait for the Twilight Movie...which thankfully is now coming out on 11/21/08 due to HP6 being pushed back to next summer.
Now, do as I say and read these books :-)
Breaking Dawn Concert and Release Party
I am fully aware that this post is about ohhh, 20 days or so late, but in my defense I was busy reading my new book, and also I misplaced my camera cord :-)
So the concert was pretty cool, shorter that what I thought is was going to be (a little over an hour). Justin F of Blue October was AWESOME!!! He played some new songs (that won't be out till March) as well as some of the songs that SM felt went with the Twilight Books.
The Q&A session with SM was pretty good, since the new book wasn't out yet she couldn't really answer any questions on that, but still good none the less.
Then the mayhem stated, after the "concert" was over SM was doing an autograph session. I personally do not think this was very well planned out. There were over 2,000 people there and it was really hot inside, and everyone was trying to push through the door. It was at this time I decided that since I already had SM autograph on my book plus a picture with her, I was going to pass at this autograph session. Sooo, off I went to the release party.
Borders was kind enough to provide a free shuttle bus from the Nokia Theater to there store off 34th and 7th. This was good, it saved me about $10.00 in cab fare. Well I was waiting in line for the shuttle, I notice a group of girls that I saw at the GMA interview the previous day. We ended up sitting next to each other on the bus. It was two girls and one of the girl's Mom. They were all really nice. Once we hit Borders, we went our sepurate ways; I really didn't have an interest in partaking in the activites of the night (I just wanted my book), so I pulled out my copy of Eclipse, got a large coffee, a cozy place to sit (the floor in the economics section) and just chilled.
Low and behold, when the time came to line up to get our books, the same group I sat with on the shuttle were right behind me in line....this led to some chatting. The girls were Sara and Palwasha and Sara's mom Nancy. They were a lil shocked to see such a big Twilight fan who was 27yrs old, but there I was in all my glory.
Above: Sara, Nancy, Me, Palwasha
I finally got my books, and after Nancy was kind enough to give me a ride home (again saving me from the cab fare) I got to work reading (a different blog to come on that.
All, I say that evening was ..... A success
